Re: STAR: 2.1.1 Kirk, coming soon......

Nevermind i think i fixed it with the package "laptop-mode-tools". I powered off from command line "sudo poweroff" and it worked, yet to use star-exit to poweroff.

edit; star-exit now working too

TBH I've never used poweroff, I mostly use a desktop, always use the the win + x yad dialog to shutdown. I do have ob running on a laptop and it works fine.

I dont quite understand it myself, i found the solution on some ubuntu forum somewhere googling for a solution, maybe its the ascii kernel build as laptop-mode-tools package unlocks laptop mode in the kernel which i think i needed to powerdown/shutdown. Yours distro is the only one ive had this issue with, not saying its a problem as it was easily fixed. There must be some setting somewhere i needed turned on or off for my specific laptop maybe, anyhow laptop-mode-tools is a pretty neat package with some performance benefits to be had using it.

EDIT: come to think of it maybe it was during installation as i used the expert install and only chose the drivers needed for my system not include all drivers in the kernel, probably missed some that i needed perhaps.
